You are growing too fast, baby. Slow down for mommy! I love the fact that I make you smile anytime I talk to you, even in your sleep, and that I can make you laugh now. You're getting to be such a big girl. Sitting up little by little, playing in your big girl toy and working on rolling over. You are so sweet my Dovie! You're also basically sleeping through the night, which makes us both in a cheery and playful mood the rest of the day. We love you too the moon darling!


And also, I didn't get to take any pictures (because there were like a bazillion people) but my husband the amazing Chef and his Chef won their very first Iron Chef competition in Lubbock! I'm so proud of him! Such a handsome chef babe I have!

As for now, life is busy and I still miss blogging. I pinky promise I'll try to do more. I still do truly love to write!
XoXo,

Best friends!

So, my best friend just had Lillian's best friend on Monday!
Congratulations to Evan and Eleni and brother Jackson on beautiful little Stella Fey!


Lillian can't wait to play with you!
Cheers to best friends!

Oh, lovey Dovie!

Our little Dove will be 2 months old in 4 days...how surreal!
I miss writing here in my little blog. I miss laying in bed all day with my kitties feeling her little feet press into my ribs.
It's amazing how I imagined her...and how she is now..
I had envisioned in my head her with this little personality...that if I pressed on this side of my tummy, she liked it and would move, as apposed to when I'd sneeze it'd scare her and she didn't like it. Little did I know that she was just a baby. She sleeps, eats and poops ... now as that is all dandy, I honestly can see her little personality growing and growing every day which just excites me to no end. I know certain ways she likes to be held and that she literally hates her swing. (totally sucks for me) and that she loves to snuggle against my chest right in-between my boobies. I know that she only likes her paci when SHE wants it, not when I want her to have it, and even then she sucks it for two seconds and spits it out. (sucks for me again!)
I cannot wait until she can do more things and interact with me more! I do cherish our time we have now, but I can't wait until my best friend can actually comprehend what i'm saying, and well, actually sleep through the night. :)
My Dovie thinks she's such a big girl, too. She gets frustrated while trying to figure out how to "coo" and can hold her own head up almost perfectly now. She pushes up on her hands during tummy time and can walk up my tummy while I hold her.. she literally just wants to get up and move and I know it frustrates her that she can't. She also knows that the bib-around-her-neck- means meal time and she gets super excited and opens her mouth just like a little baby bird waiting to be fed!

I love her so dearly! I never thought I would love something so much. When I hold her, I just want to squeeze her or somehow magically make her body press into mine. Honestly, words will truly never explain the love a mother has for her child..

So happy mothers day to my mama and to myself.
I've got 3 beautiful furry boys and a darling little girl to call my children, and I love them all!

Also, for those of you that read this, any tips on how to get my little dove to take to the paci?
And also, tips for working on sleeping through the night?
I've started a routine of a daily bath at night and feeding, but it's still a pain trying to get her down and to stay down.
So, any little suggestions would gladly help.

Xoxo to all.!
